David Dicker stepping down from Dicker Data CEO role

David Dicker is stepping down from his roles as CEO, chairman and director of Dicker Data, the company he co-founded close to a half century ago.

The technology distributor announced today that Dicker was stepping down from these roles to pursue other interests.

At the board’s request, he has agreed to enter into a six-month consultancy agreement with the company to provide strategic advice on market terms.

Dicker Data’s executive leadership team – Vladimir Mitnovetski, Mary Stojcevski and Ian Welch – will report to the company’s co-founder, Fiona Brown, who will move into an executive chair role.

“Co-founding and leading Dicker Data has been an extraordinary journey, and I am incredibly proud of what we’ve built together,” Dicker stated in the company’s announcement to the ASX about the leadership transition.

“As I embark on new ventures, I have full confidence that the leadership team that we put together some years ago will continue to drive the company forward with the same passion and dedication.

“It is actually business as usual with this leadership team who’ve been a strong executive unit for many years, continuing to ensure our success.”

Dicker “has played an integral role in shaping the company’s vision and driving its success”, the company stated.

“During this time, the company has grown into a leading player in the industry, innovating in key areas and winning numerous industry awards.”

The company’s board expressed its “sincere gratitude to David Dicker for his vision and contribution in shaping Dicker Data into the strong, innovative organization it is today.”

Dicker Data reported a 2.9 per cent increase in gross revenue to $3.37 billion for its 2024 financial year.
